Wendy Williams weeps on TV over family trouble

U.S. TV host Wendy Williams shocked viewers in America on Monday (20Jan14) by breaking down in tears as she described her rocky relationship with her son. The outspoken star was discussing the controversy surrounding Madonna’s use of the N-word on a caption accompanying a picture of her son Rocco sparring in a boxing ring, when she was overcome with emotion and began to sob.
Williams explained that her relationship with her 13-year-old son Kevin, Jr. is very different to the way the Material Girl relates to her own boy, saying, “Rocco’s 13 years old and Rocco is a real fan of his mother… Kevin, I discovered this a while ago, but the ball just got smacked home this weekend… He’s all into his father, you know how 13 year olds are, I was the same way when I was 13, but it is breaking my heart.
“He’s a father, he’s a buddy, they talk sneakers, they go for hair cuts, they speed off in the cars and I’m just left there feeling like, ‘Why you so p**sed?’ I’m not p**sed, I’m a mom!… Thank God he (Kevin) has his buddy, and father. Anyways, she’s (Madonna) lucky that he (Rocco) likes her.”
Kevin, Jr. is Williams son with husband and manager Kevin Hunter.
Madonna apologised for use of the racial slur on Saturday (18Jan14), revealing it was used as a term of endearment between her and her son, writing in a post on Facebook.com, “It was not meant as a racial slur. I am not a racist. There’s no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about intention… It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate that it’s a provocative word and I apologise if it gave people the wrong impression. Forgive me.”
